ok qwk ln2, so since i got a ebay turbo to make sure my oil lines were all correct and if they werent i wouldnt want to blow 500 on a garrett turbo rather than 100 on a ebay turbo thats making me spend 2 to 3 times more because suppose my oil lines werent right, and my turbo is doing great so i spent money on other stuff i needed and when the turbo goes or i get more money to blow thats actually wasting my money?

Are you SERIOUS!?!?!? If you can't figure out proper routing of turbo lines (what a lame @ss excuse BTW), then you have no business being boosted... Common sence tells me that the feed line goes to the top, and the drain is at the bottom... Or is that the other way around..
Sh!t I can't remember...... Does your dog eat your homework too?

tape measure? id rather spend the $100 on the stainless braided lines and have a good reliable turbo that $100 turbo. how would your turbo lines change from a garrett to a ebay? my guess is you wanted a turbo on NOW so you got what you could and put it on. i got the turbo, mounted it, measured it from turbo to drain, took it all off, ordered lines, got it all back, test fit it. took it all off. ordered more parts....
thank you captain smart ass, and on many posts it says alot of ppl blew there turbo up because of the oil galley tap and also the drain plug return line, i did the oil galley for feed, and was going to the drain plug return but i didnt so thank you for freaking out

the feed is stainless braided? the tap is what i was talking bout

what? oil galley tap? and drain plug return line? are you talking about oil from the head? and DRAINING TO THE PAN, NOT THE PLUG?
and if you cant figure out how long and where to drain your lines with a garrett turbo vs an ebay. you dont need boost.

where you get you oil for the turbo from the oil galley on the block? not the head? there has been debates on them and im not gonna waste 500 bucks on something like that??
running rich? turn the boost up
ports on the head. tap the oil filter housing. plenty of places a tape measure will reach. how are you wasting $500 on that? a garrett wont mount any different than an ebay turbo.
i wanted to make sure the oil was getting there right with the right psi since all you guys have figured out im a newb. and i didnt know you could sandwhich a catridge unlike the oil filter, so im ever so sorry

oil pressure gauge?
sandwich a cartridge? what?
the cap for the oil filter or whatever that unscrews, and the oil pressure guage is ontop of the turbo reading 60 psi ay 1200rpm idle. i made it that high and like it that high, dont whore on me for that either

sounds like you have one hacked up kit...
How is that hacked up? Because I want see oil pressure going to the turbo? I don't see at all how that's hacked up

Kevin, have you converted the car off of Alpha-N?
kevin roskosky wrote:How is that hacked up? Because I want see oil pressure going to the turbo? I don't see at all how that's hacked up
i see oil pressure to the turbo too. feed is taken off the side of the head, oil pressure gauge is inside the car. i dont get your "sandwiching" a cartridge.
I'm not even sure what I'm talking bout and I'm not sure what you mean converting alphaN?
However I took you advice and am hooking up my wideband to oxygen sensor right now.. Since I did that poor tune before is it gonna make the car run really @!#$ty? I'm not sure how it being hooked up is going to affect me

Alpha N used the TPS signal and the RPM signal to dictate fueling. These systems are horrible for tuning turbocharged engine because they do not measure the added airflow and guess what, it on our cars. The 2.5bar MAP sensor wont do jack unless you ditch the Alpha N system. I believe FMUs plus HPTuners has been proven to work better.

Your wideband, depending on the brand and model, uses a different connector for a special connection. It also needs its own wideband bung welded it. mine is about 2 feet down in my downpipe. you also need ATLEAST an upstream o2 sensor. downstream can be eliminated.
THEN tune.
alright, i have the aem eugo or however it is. it has a serial output and a 0-5 volt output from what i hear, could i hook up the 5 volt reference to my o2 sensor?

Alright. I got a high flow cat that had a bung already and that's where my wideband sensor is. Ill try to find out where I can get a bung welded

Just out of curiosity...is that bung (you installed the sensor in) after the cat or before? Most cats that have bungs in them, when installed correctly, place the bung post-cat so you can monitor those emissions. If your sensor is post-cat (and I hope you already know this) it'll do nothing to tell you how the car is running tune-wise.
im aware of all this, but the high flow cat is just a straight pipe not a legit cat. i should have said down pipe, my bad
